Dear Colleague,
I would like to inform you about our summer 2013 field school, the San Gemini Preservation Studies Program, now in its 14th year, which is dedicated to the preservation of cultural heritage and offers students the opportunity to study and travel in Italy. Our deadline for applying is March 15, 2013.
In particular, I would like to inform you about two courses we offer: one on paper restoration and a new program on book bindings restoration:
Introduction to the Restoration of Book Bindings in Italy:
May 26th – June 22nd
This course on the restoration and conservation of bindings and their structural features aims to give an overview of the field of book conservation looking at the book as a three-dimensional structure at the theoretical level as well as with hands-on experience. The course will introduce students to the history of book making, especially concentrating on production in the Western culture.
In the workshop students will have an opportunity to make four book facsimiles with various historic bindings using traditional materials and techniques and learn to analyze and document old books in terms of the structure, materials and state of conservation. They will also perform light preventive conservation including building various types of protective covers.
To learn more about this course, please review the syllabus, which you can visit our WEBSITE.
Introduction to Restoration of Paper in Books and Archival Documents:
July 7th – August 3rd
This course is an introduction to the restoration of paper in books, archival material and documents. It gives students an understanding of the nature of paper as a material, its history and the evolution of its use over time. The focus is on paper, as a support media for writing and printing, and two-dimensional documents. The course also familiarizes students with the structure of books and their bindings.
Besides studying the nature of the material, the course investigates the most common agents of deterioration and the various approaches to restoration of paper. Along with the theoretical lectures, the program includes hands-on workshops comprising: exercises in traditional ways of paper making; testing, analyzing and identifying types of paper, inks, paints, pigments and printing techniques; disassembling books, their bindings, and; exercises using different techniques of paper restoration.
The course will include a field project restoring paper documents from the San Gemini Historic Archives and a field trip to Fabriano. To learn more about this course, please review the syllabus, which you can visit our WEBSITE.
If you know any students, scholars, or others interested in this type of study, please inform them about our program. We would appreciate it if you could list our program on your organization's website as an available educational resource.
We have a 2013 flyer that you may wish to post on your department notice board or forward to interested parties. You can print this from our website, on our About Us page. Please let us know if you have any problem printing and we can email you the PDF.
Thank you very much.
Cordially, Max Cardillo
Director
San Gemini Preservation Studies Program

CHAPEL HILL - The Open Planets Foundation (OPF) has welcomed two new affiliate organizations to its membership: Portico, a digital preservation service, and the School of Information and Library Science (SILS) at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, a number one ranked school in the United States.
The OPF addresses core digital preservation challenges by engaging with its members and the community to support the development of practical and sustainable tools and services to ensure long-term access to digital content. Its mission is to ensure that its members around the world are able to meet their digital preservation challenges with a solution that is widely adopted and actively being practiced by national heritage organizations and beyond. The international foundation includes members from around the world and hosts a variety of conferences and events including webinars and hackathons.
"We are delighted these organizations have decided to join us," said Bram van der Werf, executive director of OPF. "Both organizations have a significant impact on the digital preservation practice on a global scale. The UNC brings expertise in research and education, and Portico for digital preservation services. As members of OPF, UNC and Portico will both play a major role in the further development of tools which are relevant for the OPF community."
Both Portico and SILS are enthusiastic to be a part of OPF.
"Portico values OPF's focus on practical solutions and its emphasis on a broad-based and active community of practise. We share OPF's belief that the digital preservation community as a whole benefits from the wide-spread sharing of experience, tools, and techniques" said Kate Wittenberg, managing director of Portico.
"I am very excited that SILS is joining the OPF and will be helping to extend the reach of the very successful OPF model and community into the US," said Christopher (Cal) Lee, associate professor at SILS.
SILS is the first iSchool to join the OPF, and Portico the first digital preservation service organization. The OPF now has three member organizations from the U.S.
The current list of members may be viewed at: http://openplanetsfoundation.org/members.

(Please excuse multiple postings.)
If you've thought about getting a master's degree to pursue a career in User Experience Design (UXD) but couldn't find time to get to class, you'll be happy to learn that you can now earn your degree COMPLETELY ONLINE from Kent State University.
User Experience Design (UXD) is offered as a 36-credit-hour concentration in Kent State University's Master of Science in Information Architecture and Knowledge Management (IAKM) program. Our graduates have gone on to successful careers at Google, American Greetings and Progressive Insurance, among many other major companies.
UX designers engage in a variety of design activities that help produce interfaces that users enjoy using and that also help organizations meet business goals. UXD addresses the structural, informational, psychological and emotional aspects of what makes a successful user interface, whether it's web, mobile, tablet or any other device.
Join us for a free interactive, online open house on Wednesday, Feb. 27, at noon to learn more about the degree program, course scheduling and career opportunities in this field. You'll hear from David Robins, Ph.D., concentration coordinator, and from Rachel Von Hendrix, a current student in the program. You'll also be able to ask questions in real time.
Register for the online open house at http://bit.ly/UXD-27feb2013. You'll receive a link to the webinar the day before the event. The session will be recorded and posted to our website for later viewing, if you are unable to attend the live presentation.
For more information about the UX program at Kent State, visit http://iakm.kent.edu/user-experience-design/.
All the best,

On behalf of Richard Counsil...

Subject: What WLA members need to know about the new Student Interest Group
Hi WLA members,
This is Richard Counsil your current iSchool Rep.
I very gladly want to draw your attention to the Student Interest Group (SIG), one of the WLA's new IGs this year.
My hope is that SIG will be alluring to any member of the WLA, including WLA members attending iSchools other than the one at the UW. Nothing exclusive about it.
To give you a sense of the new IG's purpose, here are some of what I think are the most important things to know:
SIG HIGHLIGHTS:
1. SIG is a effort to promote professional networking between iSchool students and the WLA community
2. It is an opportunity for iSchool students to gain momentum as active and long-term WLA members
3. It is a way for everyone in the WLA to more easily engage with iSchool students in events and planning
4. It is also a way for WLA members to draw on the enthusiasm and shape the potential of future librarians/library professionals
Please don't hesitate to email me with any questions. I will be promoting officer and event information soon!

PhD Scholarship: Be a part of creating the future of the information
professions - apply to become a La SCALA doctoral scholar.
University of Arizona: School of Information Resources and Library Science
La SCALA: Latino Scholars Cambio Leadership Academy
The School of Information Resources and Library Science (SIRLS) at the
University of Arizona is recruiting Hispanic and Latino students to join its
doctoral program, La SCALA: Latino Scholars Cambio Leadership Academy, an
Institute for Museum and Library Science (IMLS) federally-funded program
that provides financial support to students of Hispanic and Latino heritage
who wish to pursue advanced degrees in Science, Technology, Engineering and
Mathematics (STEM). Recipients of La SCALA funding are referred to as "La
SCALA students."
The Laura Bush 21st Century Librarian Program of the (IMLS) provides funding
for La SCALA students. La SCALA operates on the premise that individuals of
Hispanic and Latino backgrounds enjoy unique cultural experiences that
contribute to improving LIS education, while also helping to close the
educational gap between their underrepresented population in STEM fields and
their peers in similar fields. A particular focus of the program is to
assist students to identify how their research can be conducted in the
context of STEM, with the ultimate goal of placing these students in faculty
positions throughout the country. The program emphasizes the role of
academic identity and cultural competence in the intellectual and
professional development of doctoral students, while challenging
participants to step beyond their cultural, social and intellectual comfort
zones.
La SCALA students will be paired with a senior faculty member as the
student's intellectual mentor for the duration of the program, as well as
providing a cultural mentor and a group of peer mentors at the school.
Besides courses and research activity, La SCALA students will acquire the
intellectual and interpersonal skills necessary in their field of study
through a rigorous academic and research program.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics areas include but are not
limited to:
1) Biodiversity informatics;
2) STEM communication, with an emphasis in science data and communication;
3) Electronic publishing, with an emphasis on e-journals as media for
scholarly communication;
4) Knowledge management, with an emphasis on producing a
scholar/administrator;
5) Information ethics, with an emphasis on social justice;
6) Cognitive and affective computing, with an emphasis on decision support
systems.
The selected students will spend three years in active learning and
research, and at least one year of teaching and work experiences. Funding
may be provided for students who need a fourth year to complete the program.
At the University of Arizona, students will have opportunities to work with
researchers at iPlant Collaborative, the School of Geography and
Development, the School of Information Science, Technology and Arts (SISTA),
and/or many field stations such as Biosphere II and the National Optical
Astronomy Observatory (NOAO), depending on the student's academic interests.
La SCALA students also may participate in national research projects with
SIRLS faculty, including the Biodiversity Heritage Library and the
Encyclopedia of Life.
La SCALA students will receive tuition and fee waivers, stipends, health
insurance, a laptop computer, and funding to attend one professional
conference per year beginning in the second year in the program. La SCALA
students will spend one semester of residence with a parallel cohort of
students at the University of Tennessee, School of Information Sciences. A
cohort of University of Tennessee students will likewise spend a semester at
the University of Arizona.

School Library Specialization at Maryland's iSchool Receives National Recognition from NCATE
College Park, MD (February 27, 2013)-- The School Library specialization of the University of Maryland's College of Information Studies, Maryland's iSchool, recently received national recognition from the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). This honor places the Master of Library Science (MLS) program among only a handful that hold accreditation from both the American Library Association (ALA) and national recognition of its School Library specialization from NCATE.
"The School Library program at Maryland's iSchool prepares students to fulfill the five roles of the contemporary school librarian as leader, teacher, instructional partner, information specialist, and program administrator," says Ann Carlson Weeks, associate dean for academic programs. "National recognition from NCATE signifies that the coursework has met the ALA/AASL standards for the preparation of school librarians as part of the NCATE accreditation process."
The School Library curriculum was reviewed as part of NCATE's rigorous accreditation process of the College of Education. Within the iSchool, this process was led by Mega Subramaniam, assistant professor; Ann Carlson Weeks; and Sheri Massey, lecturer and assistant director of the School Library specialization; and assisted by June Ahn, assistant professor, Bruce Ambacher, visiting professor; and Master of Library Science and School Library specialization student, Emily Likins-Hohman. Faculty and staff from the College of Education worked closely with the iSchool faculty throughout this multi-year effort.
Founded in 1954, NCATE is recognized by the U. S. Department of Education as a specialized accrediting body for schools, colleges, and departments of education. NCATE and the Teacher Education
Accreditation Council (TEAC) have consolidated and are now transitioning into the Council for the
Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).

"LINKING TO THE FUTURE"
International Conference on Dublin Core and Metadata Applications
2-6 September 2013, Lisbon, Portugal
=============================================
2nd ANNOUNCEMENT: DC-2013 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
=============================================
DC-2013 will explore questions regarding the persistence, maintenance, and
preservation of metadata and descriptive vocabularies. The need for stable
representations and descriptions spans all sectors including cultural
heritage and scientific data, eGovernment, finance and commerce. Thus, the
maintenance and management of metadata is essential to address the long
term availability of information of legal, cultural and economic value. On
the web, data—and especially descriptive vocabularies—can change or vanish
from one moment to the next. Nonetheless, the web increasingly forms the
ecosystem for our vocabularies and our data. DC-2013 will bring together in
Lisbon the community of metadata scholars and practitioners to engage in
the exchange of knowledge and best practices in developing a sustainable
metadata ecosystem.
DC-2013 will be collocated and run simultaneous with iPRES 2013 providing a
rich environment for synergistic exploration of issues common to both
communities.

Weinberger from the United States, Laura Malita from Romania, and many other
